Just When I Thought I Fell Off...

TOOT!! TOOT!!!

Warning, tooting my own horn here...LOL

I weighed just a bit ago, after eating, dressed, and feeling like I had fallen off the wagon.

I am at my original goal of 30 pounds lost today!!! Yesterday was my birthday and I didn't weigh yet, but I had hoped to lose 30 by my birthday and well...I'm going to call it goal met thus far! YEY ME!



I set out on my weight loss goal earlier this year when I made a bet with my son. He is now 11 years old and was moving very sluggish for sports. He just didn't want to move, didn't want to run or do anything for some reason. I saw where this trend was heading and I made him a deal. I told him that I would lose 30 pounds and get in shape if he would try his hardest playing sports so that he would stay in shape. And thus far, he's needed to be re-motivated now and then on our agreement, and I have needed to be pushed along the way to get moving and stay healthy and on track. Anyway... I just wanted to share.

I even let him click on the "send" when he got home from school on my 30 pounds here at My Fitness Pal. YEY! Thank you to him, and thank you MFP friends!

    You're so awesome. Sometimes we just need a break to let our body know we're not starving.

    I guess that's what it was??? I just hoped on the scale and thought...OMG! Did I do it? That wasn't too bad? I hoped off...kicked it, and jumped back on. Thank goodness nobody saw. LOL I kept kicking it expecting the scale to go back up...Crazy!
